Hello friends, welcome to Tutorials Point
0:10
In this video we are going to learn eye dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop
0:15
So friends, the eye dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop is a color sampling tool that allows you
0:20
to select a color from an image and use it for various purposes such as painting, color correction
0:28
and color matching. It can be found in a tool bar over here. You can see an eye dropper tool
0:35
over here. By pressing a keyboard shortcut I you can activate an eye dropper tool and if you
0:41
want to switch from this another tool you need to press Shift plus I. So friends let's try
0:48
using this I dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop. So I'm just selecting this I dropper tool
0:54
So friends as you can see after selecting this I dropper tool
0:58
tool now I have this eye dropper so whenever I am selecting any color of this image
1:04
then it will be getting that particular color for example I have this green color
1:10
of this Photoshop text if I am selecting this color then as you can see over here
1:16
the color is selected and once you open these you can also get the color code fine
1:23
so these you can use for the various purposes to get the color as well as
1:28
color code so right now I am just simply select this and as you can see that one
1:34
circle will come so guys just hold your mouse click and as you can see their
1:40
circle around this click so what it show so first of all I am selecting this
1:45
green color so it will become on this top okay and if I'm selecting this I
1:52
dropper text which is a blue that as you can see the blue color is selected and
1:56
And again, if I'm selecting this red color, so as you can see, my red color as well as my previous color is showing here
2:06
So this is a red color which I am currently selected and this is the color which previously am selected
2:13
Okay, for example, now I'm selecting this green color. So as you can see, my previous selection which is red is also available over here and my current selection is also here
2:26
Fine. So this is showing your previous color sample as well as your current color sample
2:33
So friends, this is an eye dropper tool. Now we are going to learn eye dropper tool and its property in detail
2:41
So friends, the eye dropper tool is very useful to getting a color. For example, if I want a color of these background building, for example these. So by clicking this, I get this color
2:56
or if I want a color of this shirt then I'm just clicking here and I'm getting the color of this shirt
3:03
so guys iDropper tool is very useful in many scenarios so for now we are just going to learn all these properties of i dropper tool
3:14
so for that I created one example over here where we have a five layers one is a red pink purple okay we have one rectangle box which is green and we have we have one background background So friends with this example we are going to learn all this property
3:34
So friends, first property is sample size where sample size property is selected by point sample
3:41
What is point sample? So if I'm clicking on particular pixel for that we need to zoom this so that we can get this particular pixel
3:50
So I'm just zooming this okay so as you can see we are on the age of these two layers
3:58
background as well as the red text color okay so if I'm selecting this pixel then
4:04
exactly this pixel foreground color is selected now friends you can also get the
4:10
color over here and you can also check the color fine if I'm selecting this yellow
4:16
one then yellow color is selected because my sample size is point sample
4:20
Now if I am changing my sample size to 3 by 3 average
4:26
Now what happen if I am selecting 3 by 3 average? So whenever I am clicking any of these pixels, for example this yellow one, then it will economic
4:36
the average of 3 by 3. 1, 2, 3, 456, 7, 8, 9
4:41
So these are 3 by 3 and it will get the average of this area and giving me the color
4:48
So right now you think I am selecting. this yellow one but it will be giving me this color because it will be getting the average
4:56
of 3 by 3 and giving me that color so now i'm selecting 5 by 5 so now what happened if the
5:03
size is enabled the tool will pick the average color from the nearby square of 5 by 5 pixel
5:10
for example right now i'm selecting this red one okay and as you can see it will not exactly
5:17
selected this red one it will get the average of 5 by 5 by 5 around this square pixel and I'm getting this average color okay same as you can
5:29
selecting this 11 by 11 so the tool will pick the average color from the nearby square
5:36
of 11 by 11 pixel so for now I am selecting this solid yellow color but as you can
5:43
see it will be getting the average of 11 by 11 and give me this average color okay
5:50
So guys this is a first property which is called a sample size
5:55
Okay like this you can check other property too. Now next we are going to see sample
6:01
Okay. So what is sample? So inside this sample we have different different property
6:08
Current layer current and below all layers all layers no adjustment. Color and below no adjustment
6:16
So one by one we are going to learn all this property
6:20
and showing you what happen if I'm selecting different different property so by default
6:27
it is all layer what does it mean so if I'm selecting this all layer then it will be
6:34
getting the color from all the layers in my document for example if I'm selecting
6:40
this rectangle which color is green then it will be giving me the green color if I'm
6:45
selecting this red one then it will be giving me the red one if I'm selecting pink one
6:50
then it will be giving me pink one because of all layers it will be giving me the color picker from the all the layer in my Photoshop document now next is current layer now if I
7:03
selecting this current layer then it will be take the color from that current
7:07
layer for example I am selecting this red one then it will be only giving me the
7:12
red color like this if I'm selecting this yellow purple pink green white
7:18
whatever color I'm selecting it will be not giving me any color because I am selecting a current layer property
7:26
Okay. So this is a use of eye dropper sample mode which is a current layer
7:31
Now next I am selecting current and below. Now what happen if I'm selecting this mode which is current and below
7:39
So right now my current is red. Okay. And below color is all these
7:44
So obviously I can select the color and I can get a color of all the colors
7:51
But for example my current layer is purple. So what going to happen
7:58
So our sample mode is current and below. So I am only able to select purple green rectangle and my background color
8:07
I'm not able to select this pink and red. So let's see
8:11
I'm just in an eye dropper tool. I'm try to select this red one
8:16
As you can see, I'm not able to select this red one because my mode is current and
8:21
below but if I'm trying to selecting this green one then I can get this color okay
8:27
if I'm selecting these yellow one which is BG I can get it this color white as well
8:33
as okay and purple also but I'm not able to select this red and pink because my
8:40
mode is current and below now friends our next mode is current and below but no
8:47
adjustment so friends I'm just creating adjustment layer which is I'm adding inward so these adjustment in what will
8:57
invert will invert all the color in my document okay for example if there is
9:02
red it will be getting the color of violet so like this is it will be in
9:07
what all the colors okay so what my mode is current and below but no
9:12
adjustment okay so right now I am selecting this purple one okay so my I
9:19
I dropper tool only selecting this purple green rectangle but not this adjustment which I am adding
9:28
Right now my adjustment layer will showing this color but actual color will be yellow
9:36
See? For example right now I am selecting this purple color okay which is this but right now it will be
9:44
change the color because I apply the adjustment layer but whenever I'm click this layer
9:49
It will be giving me that original purple color which is this
9:54
This color because in my mode I am selecting current and below but no adjustment
10:00
Now our next mode is all layers and no adjustment. For example I am selecting our background color which originally yellow
10:09
So I am selecting this and it will be giving me the yellow color but not this actual color
10:14
because our mode is all layers and no adjustment. so guys this is a sample mode in iDropper tool property So friends I am right now I just deleting this adjustment
10:31
So friends next we are going to learn is show sampling ring
10:36
Now if you enable it, you can see the ring which shows the picked color on your screen
10:41
It is mostly enabled by people as it helps them to pick the accurate color easily by
10:49
seeing the color change then seeing the changes from the background and foreground
10:54
color section so as you can see I can add any background and foreground color
10:59
for example if I'm selecting this it will be come to the foreground color and
11:05
if you're pressing alt in your keyboard and after that if you're selecting any color
11:12
then it will be come in a background color so this is a foreground color and this is a
11:18
background color so like this you can also set your background and foreground color
11:24
by using an eye dropper tool so if I am of this show sampling then what
11:30
happened whenever I'm clicking any of this color the ring is not coming because
11:36
the sampling ring is disable once I'm enable it again it will be coming that
11:42
ring so guys this is a use of sampling ring so friends now I'm going to
11:48
to show you one more very important tricks okay right now what you are doing you are just
11:54
taking the color from your Photoshop projects for example if I want this red color
12:00
I'm just selecting this and I'm getting the color if I want this color then I'm
12:05
just selecting this and I'm getting this color but what if you want a color
12:10
outside of Photoshop so friends you need to divide your screen like this
12:15
where here you can see your Photoshop as well as here you can see your web page
12:21
Now if you want any color from this web page then you need to select an eye dropper tool
12:27
in Adobe Photoshop and you just need to hold your mouse pointer in any of this document and just
12:34
start dragging your mouse pointer to this web page. So guys this is a magic
12:41
You can get a color over here as you can see that you can get any color from this web page
12:47
like this but make sure you just hold your mouse click once you remove your mouse click
12:54
then the iDropper tool will be disabled from this web page but you got your color
13:00
okay so guys for example if I want a color of this logo then what I am doing I'm
13:08
just selecting this iDropper tool in Adobe Photoshop and just start dragging from my
13:13
Photoshop to here and I'm getting this particular color or if I want the color inside this heart then I'm just going to these and selecting this one
13:23
and I'm getting that color just select here and you can get the color code and you can use
13:28
wherever you want so friends like these you can use an eye dropper tool even outside of
13:35
Adobe Photoshop so friends that's all about an eye dropper tool in Adobe Photoshop thank you so much
13:42
guys see you in the next video
